Core to the success of any organization is its people. A people risk management framework is key to understanding the opportunities that can come from what people can achieve as well as managing the risks associated.

Fundamentals of People Risk Management is an introduction to people risk for new and established risk managers looking to understand how human behaviour can influence the success of their organizations. Offering practical toolkits, guidance and checklists, this book shows risk professionals how they can identify, measure and manage their human capital risk. It covers the cognitive and behavioural risks involved in decision making, ethics and group dynamics, decision making in high-risk environments and the role of governance in addressing people risk.

Fundamentals of People Risk Management explores how values and valued behaviours are articulated and offers practical guidance on developing an organizational culture that is aligned with an organization's aims. With guidance on assessing people risk in specific operational contexts, this book shows risk managers how to integrate people risk into their enterprise risk management framework. It features the insights of senior risk and HR practitioners and includes real-world examples of people risk management from insurance, financial services, the energy sector, pharmaceuticals, non-profits and the public sector.
